Three minutes into the game, the Falcons were off to a quick start, up 10-2. At the end of one, NGA was up 14-7.

After trailing 30-16 at the break, it seemed the Bobcats were staging a comeback, cutting the lead inside 10 points, 30-21, with 6:13 in the third. But, that was a close as it would get. The Falcons went 9 of 10 from the line in the eight minutes. Eli Eason went 6 for 6.

NGA dominated the fourth period, 20-3, for the win. Coach Horton played into her bench early with her roster of eleven all getting minutes – nine added points to the board.
